Dark matter remains one of science's deepest mysteries. It makes up about 25% of our universe, yet scientists only observe ...

Brown dwarfs, also known as "failed stars," could be corrupted by dark matter and transformed into "dark dwarfs" powered by ...

This particular isotope burns away quickly inside stars due to their intense heat. But in cooler objects like brown dwarfs, ...

Celestial objects known as dark dwarfs may be hiding at the center of our galaxy and could offer key clues to uncover the ...

Brown dwarfs are too small to sustain the nuclear fusion that powers most stars, so they cool and fade over time. But if they ...

Astronomers propose dark dwarfs—objects powered by dark matter annihilation—may exist near the galactic center, offering key clues about WIMPs.

A new study has proposed the existence of a new type of cosmic object that could be hiding at the centre of our galaxy. This ...

Some of the faintest, coldest stars in the universe may be powered not by fusion—but by the annihilation of dark matter deep within them. These “dark dwarfs” could exist in regions like the galactic ...

Astronomers have studied 3,600 supernovas to discover diversity in exploding white dwarf stars, a vital tool in the investigation of dark energy.

Based on the new model, the first of these white dwarf explosions isn’t due for at least 10 1100 years. That’s a 1 followed by 1,100 zeros—a number so big that we don’t have a name for it.

Dark matter is one of Nature’s most confounding mysteries. It keeps particle physicists up at night and cosmologists glued to their supercomputer simulations. We know it’s real because its mass ...

A new kind of cosmic object could help solve one of the universe's greatest mysteries: dark matter.Particle Astrophysicists have proposed the ...
